“We will make this project together, it will be fun,” Nancy said. I signed on. Little did I know that Nancy may have started more than one of Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilts, but has yet to complete one.
First step was to gather fabrics from my stash. Pinks, yellows, neutrals, deep reds and turquoise. Sounds pretty. I did have to buy a few 1/4 yards of deep red and neutrals. But for the most part, I make this quilt from fabrics I had.
Now to wait for the first clue to appear on Bonnie’s blog. Then the cutting and sewing began.
Sewing and trimming.And sewing and trimmingNeeded to do lots of trimmingMaking the flying geese on my Singer 301Finally starting to put blocks together. Hmm, looks like I had one piece in backwards.I made the setting triangles at the lake using my Featherweight.Finally started putting the blocks together. Had to lie it out on my living room floor to have enough room.This is how I kept track of each row as I sewed them together.So exciting to get the last two rows together.Flying Geese ready to fly around the quilt.

Now how am I going to fix this.A little bit of batting flipped over on the edge. Had to get the seam ripper out. On a windy day in April, our quilts have finally made it to Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville Inn.
